“He’ll certainly inject another level into the midfield particularly, and the guys do seem very fit so what that does for us is allows us greater depth of midfield options to go through there.

“A lot of the guys are still quite young, we forget the age of them and just the natural progression and growth. We’ll hopefully see some improvement.

“I’m excited about the young guys coming on board and in particular a few of the small forwards we’ve been able to acquire.”

Harris will provide Doncaster another tall option and will give some relief to ruckman Ewen McKenzie.

“That will allow a bit more flexibility with the guys up forward … we might be a little more balanced in terms of our big men with that extra tall if we can keep them both on the park,” Kemperman said.

“I’m excited but not disillusioned either because I realise the competition we’re in is going to be competitive.”
